I have a very minimal install of Ubuntu 8.04 64-bit.
When I try to run some 32-bit programs, such as my jhead program, I get the message No such file or directory.
I figured it may be a library problem, but when I do:
ldd jhead
instead of a list of libraries it needs, I just get the message not a dynamic application. Same for another old 32-bit app I use.
So it would appear some very important components for running 32 bit apps are not installed. But how do I even determine what these are?

You can have 32bit userland running on a 64bit kernel, and install support for 64bit binaries.
The 64-bit versions of Windows don't provide support for 16-bit binaries or 32-bit drivers. Programs that depend on 16-bit binaries or 32-bit drivers can't run on the 64-bit versions of Windows unless the program manufacturer provides an update for the program.
Right-click on the app and choose Properties. In the Properties window, select the Compatibility tab. Then, under the Compatibility mode, check Run this program in compatibility mode for and select the target Windows system.
Linux kernel supports chroot technology that allows to run 32-bit apps in an isolated environment (sandbox) inside a 64-bit OS.
You will need to install the 32bit library package
ia32-libs - ia32 shared libraries for use on amd64 and ia64 systems
go and execute
sudo aptitude install ia32-libs
